GOP Reps To Block Dept of InJustice's Backdoor Gun Control

Republican Representatives are preparing to use a funding bill to roll back some of the Department of Justice’s backdoor gun controls and to completely block the implementation of others.

On May 31 2015 I reported the DOJ’s plans to circumvent Congress with ‘more than a dozen’ new gun control regulations. These include new limitations on who can buy or possess guns, new reporting requirements for gun dealers, and new controls on certain types of firearms. The controls also add a whole new category of persons who have to undergo background checks when estates hold National Firearm Act guns in trust.

But House Republicans are planning to stop the backdoor gun control push via riders attached to funding legislation now under consideration.

According to The Hill, the GOP-attached riders mean the DOJ cannot get the money it needs “unless the Obama administration backs down from certain gun regulations.”

Democrats are outraged that the gun control agenda is being opposed, with “more than 100″ Democrat Reps writing House Speaker Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) to complain.
